Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Are you a bit happier with it now Daz?

I wouldn't give up on Engels yet, he looked decent at the start of the season. Seems he can't get on with Smith though, so maybe he just isn't a good fit in our squad.

It is encouarging that we are being linked with players like Buendia, Rashica and Cantwell all of whom would add a lot in attack. I am hoping to see at least one striker come in though, as Wesley and Samatta are both extremely poor players.

I've given up on Engles.  Don't rate him, never seen the fuss with him, looks slow, too many errors and rash challenges.

Thats how I see him as well.

Arsenal sign Will.I.am on £220k per week.

Remind me, how many people have Arsenal just made redundant ?

We simply lose too often when Engels is on the pitch. 19 apps last season, 14 defeats, 10 of them being consecutive and only 3 wins. Calling him a poor defender would be too kind.

I liked him the look of him when I watched him early in the season. However my uncle who watches all the games doesn't rate him either and says he lacks pace. I'd still like to give him another chance when he's fully fit.

So it looks like we might be working on the Milot Rashica deal, if the papers are to be believed, oh, and the Bremen websites.  Would it be asking too much to work on, say, three or four transfers as the same time and leak it a bit?  For fuck sake Villa, stop being so professional and all behind closed doorsy!

Seems odd that you would discard the opinion of the one who watches all of our games, but you who doesn't wants him to play, bizarre.

He's my uncle, I didn't say he was infallible.

Alongside Cech (when he was there) and David Luiz, it appears that Arsenal are intent on becoming the North London branch of the Chelsea Pensioners.

I wish we would hurry up and make a signing it's torture waiting doe us to make one.

I always like at least one of the centre halves in any villa team, to be the kind of big strong lump, who heads and volleys it out for fun all day, as well as last ditch blocks etc, and Engels seemed perfect for that early on. He made a few terrible mistakes at Arsenal which cost us goals, but most defenders have one of those games. Then cam Southampton at home, when literally my soon to be 84 year old mother would of shown more pace for at least one of their goals, it was painful. The most worrying thing was after that he seemed to simply go missing from the squad for nigh on two months, with no real word from the club, seems to spell serious problems with him.
Then he came back and second game, spurs, last minute winner etc. Then he went missing from the squad again post lock down ‘injured’.
Something just doesn’t feel right with him, and not sure he’s very good anyway. Konsa all the way for me.
